The brief

A new car park gate for their offices

James Development asked us to design and install car park fencing and a sliding gate at their own offices in Romford, to secure parking at the development. The site had been an open yard. We handled the groundworks, the metalwork and the automation as one job, and handed the gate over in 2024.

The metalwork is galvanised steel, manufactured by Metfab: vertical-bar fencing, a single sliding leaf of about 5.5 m and weld-mesh panels. The motor is a Roger Technology BH30/HS with a B70/1DC control board.

Safety and handover

Laser protection, photocells and a written handover

Because this gate serves a private car park next to new housing, the installation was designed so people cannot reach the travelling leaf or the motor. Machine guards were fitted around the drive, and BEA LZR-I110 laser curtains cover the close-proximity area at the posts and rollers. Photocells and a flashing lamp were fitted on the posts as well.

We completed a written risk assessment for the sliding gate and issued a declaration of conformity for the installation, dated July 2024. The gate carries a Charged Services / Roger service plate so the owner can reach us for maintenance. Servicing plans start from £19.99 + VAT per month.
